A Strong Family Is A Steelers Family:

The tradition that our family loves most is enjoying the football season. We do this through watching football every sunday during the season, especially one team in particular. The “Pittsburgh Steelers” is an American football team that not everyone likes, but in the Jules house they are considered the best team in the league. Their killer offensive game and the fact that they have one of the best defensive lines in the league. To begin, one of things we do once every year is go to watch the Steelers when we go back to school shopping. We either go to; a Steelers game, practice or training camp. We did this because as my dad put it, “it just made sense”(Mark Jules). Although if we did not go back to school shopping in pittsburgh then we would have gone on these trips and I would not love the game as much as I do.

I remember going to the Steelers games when I was little it was usually funny because we were so high up in the nosebleeds that the football giants looked like little figurines, but as my father always said, “it was about the experience” (Mark Jules). Me and my dad also went to a steelers game in buffalo last year. Which is where their rookie running back Le’Veon Bell broke the all time record for rushing yards in a single season. The practice we went to this last summer was interesting because even though they were running drills it was fascinating to understand how they became the best at what they do. It was also fun to sit in the front row and be that close to your heroes.

The training camps were always fun because we got to get signatures from the Pittsburgh players on our baseball caps after they finished. When they were training it was also fun to talk to my family and just sit back relax and watch some good football. The best part about these trips and watching the game was not about if they won or lost it was about enjoying spending time with each other and become a stronger more unified Steelers family and my dad said he believed, “having more exposure to the sport would get the whole family interested in football”. Although it is always nice to see your team win in football it is better to obtain a connection with your family. In conclusion, the tradition of watching football every season is what gives our family the connection that we have. Steelers In My DNA
